Question: Seeing all the new videos on Push coming out these days from NAMM I wondered how the step sequencer works with odd time signatures. It's all based around 4 - 8 - 32 - 64 "bits" (rows, buttons, steps) and so on. I imagine it working great with standard 4/4, but how does it adjust, for example, if I'm working in "drum mode" and I have a 5/4 or 7/8 time signature, something that doesn't works seamlessly with a power of 2 like 4/4 does?

What is the physical resolution of the encoders, i.e. steps per 360°? And what is the software resolution for volume faders, device parameters and vst parameters, i.e. how many steps are possible? I hope more than 128, for fine tuning.

- Does Live / Push actually support the touch-sensitivity of the encoders in any useful manner for recording overdubbing parameter automation? I.e., when touch begins, start recording that specific parameter, when touch ends, stop recording, go back to playing automation? So far, I have only seen references to (1) the ability to delete recorded automation for an individual parameter when touching the associated encoder, and (2) showing the name of a parameter associated with an encoder when touching it, but even on the various video demo's, I have seen nothing specifically related to touch-sensitivity and automation recording.

- If this is supported, then how does it exactly work? What MIDI events are used to indicate touch begin / end events for the individual encoders? Can it easily be mimicked by other controllers by tweaking the Push

- Does Push support 14bit MIDI CC#? It seriously should - a cheap BCR-2000 can already do this just fine. Otherwise it means Push can't really be used well enough to control great synths like the new Moog Sub Phatty accurately, which would of course be quite a shame. M4L patches are surely useful, but are definitely not good enough, if only because of the associated latency and lack of PDC for automation.

- Does Live / Push support using the [Shift] button and/or modifier key for fine-tuning? (Pretty much the same as above. If it doesn't support either one, the encoders aren't really that interesting at all, regardless of touch-sensitivity. It would be yet another too low-resolution encoder with too few knobs.)

- Does the Push device receive updates for its display with track / clip / device / parameter names and parameter values in human readable format every time they are changed either on Push or in Live, e.g. by dragging their order around, deleting, moving, renaming, etc.?

- Is there any mechanism in place to prevent 'flooding' with duplicative, and thus redundant MIDI events from being sent in either direction between Live / Push?

- Can the buttons with different quantization settings (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc) also be used to set the resolution of the controls to adjust a clip loop length?

Since Push has it's own destructive Swing, how does it appear in the software? In other words, can I look at the software and tell "if" and "how much" Swing from Push has been applied to a pad? I've seen a screenshot of a percentage in the upper left hand corner of the screen, but what exactly is that? Is that a global swing from Push? I'm kind of confused because in the videos I've seen of Push, each pad seems to have it's own independant amount of Swing.
